Tsokkos Gardens in Pernera is 4 star and has a lot going for it... (daughter stayed there in August and said it was very nice but like us only really used it as a base for sleeping in)

A lot will depend on the sort of money you are hoping to spend ! You can go all inclusive in The Crown Resorts Elamaris which is advertised as 4 star (we've been several times because its cheap and we only really use the hotel as a place to leave the suitcases and sleep).. It served a purpose and wasn't too bad but I think the rating is erm... over inflated...

Golden Coast Hotel also does A1, i had my married vows done there, beautiful views and sea-view.

We booked today at the Tsokkos gardens apart with direct holidays AI as they had extra discount this week, first we went round every travel agent and they could not match the price we was getting, all said 15k luggage allowance, which as going to a wedding would not have been enough, would not include in flight meals and transfers at any where near the price we was getting, we got inflight meals, transfers, and 20k luggage no problem, this is for the 2nd june for a couple 1610 and for 2 adults and 2 children 2542 which i think was good with the xtras

i have just booked tsokkos gardens hotel i arrive on 28th oct for a week will let you know what its like i have looked at loads of reviews for it and they are all good so fingers crossed

Thanks tezmand that will be great, a little worried to be honest we actually thought when we booked that we was in the hotel, we did not realise that it was the apartments till it was booked, as on the direct website it shows you a pic of the hotel room and hotel so is misleading, all the reviews we was reading was for the hotel, some good and bad for the apartments that look very dated if you can find a pic of them, when daughter who booked it realised, she is now upset over it as it is her wedding we are going for, she is getting married at the sunrise hotel but staying at what we thought was the tsokkos hotel, we paid 1200 dep so we can't afford to lose that for the 3 families thats booked, one of the reasons we booked there was good kids reviews as 3 little ones and one teenager so seemed good for families, it is just the look of the room that is putting us off especially as it is a special occasion, so any info would be a help

Thanks Rosie

no problem rosie i will have a good look around for you and see wat pics i can get im going with my 12 yr old daughter and a friend with her granson who is 10 so im sure they will say whether its any good for kids at end of hols, my only worry is that we are booked for the hotel but i wouldnt put it past them to put us in apts if they are close to the hotel, hope its not too quiet as i guess its probably end of season but still if sun shines i will be happy . i have been told that cyprus 4 star is alot better than spain 4 star so lets hope its a nice place regards mandy

I wouldn't panic too much if I were you ! - The Tsokkos Gardens Hotel and Apartments are all in one place like one big complex all sharing the same pools and entertainment etc !

Thanks Mandy, If you chat to anyone in the apartments any info would be appreciated, the hotel reviews are great and thats what we was looking at, plus the entertainment for the children seemed very good as well

Thanks AskCy, I know it is one big complex and we get to use all facilities of the hotel and eat there, it was just we actually thought that we had booked the hotel not the apartments, daughter rang direct holidays this morning and they said they only do the apartments not the hotel and as daughter is a family of four and so is son they only allow max of 3 in a room at the hotel even though they are only little tots, i know people say it's only to sleep in but it makes my holiday having a decent room, even if it's dated i don't mind as long as it is clean.

The Tsokkos gardens hotel seem to be the hotel in the middle, the Tsokkos garden apartments next door, and the Tsokkos sun garden apartments on the other side of the hotel so 3 in all, the sun one as bad reviews it's run by Thomson i think and reviews say don't get the 2 mixed up, It is decieving though as when you book you get the hotel picture of the room and being AI you don't expect an apartment, anyway it's done now and to much dep to lose so just keeping fingers crossed it's not to bad, not worried at all over the facilities just the room itself

Thanks for replies
Rosie

will do my best for you rosie after reading what you had wrote i went and looked at my paper work and found that i am booked as going to the toskkos gardens it doesnt say hotel or apts so i wont know til i get there where im gonna be i have booked with thomas cook and it does say the room is for 3 ppl so im hoping that means hotel but like you as long as room and bedding and towels are clean i will be ok keep em crossed for me mandy x

Don't panic and don't read too much into anything! It is going to be a special time for all your family so just look forward to it!
You will always get people who either love or hate a place and as long as most of the reviews are favourable, then go for it! x

Mandy sounds like hotel hopefully

Rosie - don't worry. We have holidayed in Pernera so many times over the years, and have stayed in the Tsokkos Gardens Apartments, albeit about 4 years ago. They are literally next door to the hotel sharing the same grounds (2 floors) and we much preferred them because they were quieter. They also have their own pool, but again next door to the main hotel pool. We booked directly with the Tsokkos group on a B&B basis, but any board basis was bookable, and just walked round the pool into the restaurant. I believe they are not available for direct bookings now, only through one of the larger tour operators. I would recommend that you e-mail tsokkos hotels and ask for an apartment overlooking the pool, nearer the hotel, because the far end of the apartment complex is nearer the road. You can use all the facilities freely of the hotel. Our studio, although I have to reiterate, this was 4 years ago, was immaculate and we had absolutely no complaints. We walked by them many times last year and they looked no different from the outside. Hope this helps.

Madgex, thanks for reply and will e-mail before we go, thanks for replying
